21、4 Popular Places to Go This Winter
Harbin, China
China Harbin’s winter is for the brave ones—the average temperature is 1.8°F- but those who brave the cold will be rewarded with experiencing one of the world’s largest winter festivals. 2021 marks the 37th Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival (January-March), when massive frozen structures rise and are lit up, transforming the city into a winter wonderland.
Lyon, France
Paris may be called The City of Light,but every December, light takes center stage in Lyon, France’s third-largest city. That’s when the annual Festival of Lights (around December 8) takes over, with light installations (装置)that transform the city’s streetscapes into modern works of art. The city is also home to two Christmas markets (one in La Croix-Rousse; the other at the Place Carnot; through December 25).
Lima, Peru
Peru’s capital Lima is home to the world’s highest number of cooking schools per person. Aside from its delicate dining, the city also has great cocktail bars where you can taste classic or contemporary takes on the Pisco Sour.Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures in the 80s, and you’ll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.
Vermont, US
Winter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding, Many resorts (度假胜地)have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a $15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new, low-energy models.These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season, meaning this will be one of the best winters for skiing and riding in Vermont in recent memory.

22、Freshmen anywhere may be nervous about university life. Here, three pieces of advice are for them.
Listen but don’t be silent
The world is held in students’ hands via smart phones. Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important.【1】It forces students to face the difficulties of training a deep attentiveness (注意). Unsurprisingly, students find it hard to speak out, ask questions or for points of clarification. They don’t want to appear foolish or incapable. However, there is no such thing as a foolish question.
Teachers are there to help you understand. This also goes for seminars and workshops. 【2】
Read and buy books
【3】 There’re so many useful online sources today, but the habit of reading books, especially whole books, is something being lost. Buy your own books. There are many bargains to be found on used-book websites or through Amazon. Being a book lover and buyer will help any student get the most out of their education.
【4】
As a student, you don’t just have to learn to listen and become an active reader: you also have to become an academic (学术的) writer. Written work at college level cannot be done at the last minute or in a rush. It takes time. Turn to your teachers. If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback (反馈) ahead of the final submission.【5】Students who get feedback on their work always do better than those who do not. It is one of the few educational laws that holds true in all cases.
A．Don’t try to do it all the night before.
B．However, a lecture is a listening workout.
C．Thinking clearly cannot be done in a rush.
D．So train your ear, listen carefully, but don’t be silent.
E．Reading is the most important thing that any student does.
F．Re-writing has proved to be the turning point in one’s degree.
G．If they won’t read drafts (草稿), then ask them to run through (匆匆浏览) your ideas.
23、Nowadays, the term “quiet quitting” has taken over the Internet, meaning lying flat, or taking a break from the overwork. It appears to have originated from a TikTok video posted by Brian Creely. Creely showed an Insider article written by senior reporter Aki Ito. The headline read, “Fed up with long hours, many employees have quietly decided to take it easy at work rather than quit their jobs.” Creely said, “More people are quiet quitting instead of leaving.” The video has received nearly 100,000 likes and more than 4,000 comments, the vast majority describing the benefits of doing the bare minimum.
Despite a number of news outlets reporting that quiet quitting is a trend that is being encouraged, Insider found many users on the app were actually warning people against doing so.
Ashley Herd, a former employment lawyer, posted two videos about quiet quitting. In her videos, she argued that while limiting work to what is specified in the job description is fine, doing so quietly can be detrimental. “If someone is stressed out, they should feel able to have that conversation with their manager,” she said.
A TikToker and consultant Mary posted a video titled “Minorities should be careful quiet quitting”. In the video, she said, “Unfortunately in America minorities are held to a different standard. We are looked at differently. So we have to go above and beyond to be successful. We can’t risk being regarded as not performing.”
In recent weeks, TikTokers have been warning workers that quiet quitting could lead to “quiet firing”, labeled as a new workplace trend. The phrase describes the longstanding practice of constructive dismissal—creating an environment that leads a worker to quit their job in order to avoid having to fire them. Creators are receiving hundreds of thousands of views that post about quiet firing and call out managers who employ the practice.
【1】What aspect of quiet quitting is introduced in paragraph 1?
A．Its origin.
B．Its innovation.
C．Its value.
D．Its standard.
【2】What does the underlined word “detrimental” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Strange.
B．Harmful.
C．Vital.
D．Effective.
【3】What is Mary’s opinion on minorities at work?
A．They needn’t perform well.
B．They should make greater efforts.
C．They have better chances of success.
D．They are treated as equally as others.
【4】Which of the following can be a sign of quiet firing in the workplace?
A．The boss asks a worker to leave the job.
B．The boss allows a worker flexible working hours.
C．The boss puts off a worker’s promotion on purpose.
D．The boss provides a worker with a new environment.
24、 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲)and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
【1】If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _____.
A.he is a lazy person
B.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
C.he is not sure when his energy is low
D.he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
【2】Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A.A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
B.Familiar monologues.
C.Not understanding energy cycles.
D.Trying to control the energy cycle of other family members.
【3】You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _____.
A.keep your energy cycle under control all day
B.help you to control your temper early in the day
C.enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D.help to keep your energy for the day’s work
